Goals

[edit]

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went? We were able to attend many scenes but unfortunately, it is often difficult to meet all the prominent qctors in one scene. Coupled with fasting month and Hajj, most of the stars are diffito reach at those times because almost all shooting activities were paused and most of them travel to other places. Although we were able to reach some online and express our intentions, and some willingly send their pictures to be used.

Learning

[edit]

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

Important pictures were acquired during the course of the project and they are used on wikipedia pages.

  • What did not work so well?

The timing as shooting activuties were paused due to Ramadan and Eid celebrations.

  • What would you do differently next time?

We will time project at the appropriate time. Even though grant processing alter our initial plans.
